A friend asked me what I think about Dilma Roussef...

I come from a time when two wars were fought and when the Cold War has ended.

I am from a generation who saw economic failure, but also saw a re-birth of its own country.

I come from a time when dictators are no longer supported,

and fell one by one.

I know the presidents will all act the same, because they don’t govern alone.

But their symbol for a nation means a lot.

I am from a time when a black man is the US president,

and a common worker with no college degree is the best president in my country’s history.

I believe in the power of beautiful speeches,

but I believe more in people’s attitudes.

I know we still have a lot of problems.

But I believe that any obstacle can be overcome.

I believe that prejudices can be broken

and that humanity is headed towards better days.

We are at the dawn of a new era, and we all just want peace.

I still believe in my generation, because I am one of them.

And one optimistic spirit resides within me.

You may say that I'm a Pollyanna

but I'm not the only one.

I hope you'll join us

And the world will live as one. (Imagine!!)

I believe in John Lennon, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama and in Lula.

And I believe we can go far

and why not believe in a woman president?

I believe in Dilma Rouseff.

This is what I think.

And you, what are your beliefs?
